Amdaquin 150mg Tablet (60×10 tablets)

Amdaquin 150mg Tablet, made by Zafa Pharmaceutical Labortories Ltd, is a 4-aminoquinoline antimalarial. Its active ingredient is Amodiaquine 150mg, and it is used for malaria. Pack size: 60×10 tablets.

Uses of Amdaquin 150mg Tablet

Amdaquin 150mg Tablet is used in combination with artesunate to treat uncomplicated malaria, including falciparum malaria. Combination therapy is used because two antimalarials taken together work better and reduce the chance that the parasites become resistant. It is not used for severe malaria, which needs hospital treatment, and it is not recommended for preventing malaria in travellers.

How Amdaquin 150mg Tablet works

Amodiaquine works inside the red blood cells where malaria parasites live. It stops the parasites from safely disposing of the toxic waste they produce when digesting haemoglobin, and this build-up kills them. Artesunate rapidly reduces parasite numbers, while amodiaquine clears the remaining parasites.

• Nausea or vomiting

Get medical help at once if you have a fever with sore throat or mouth ulcers, yellow skin or eyes, or if malaria symptoms such as high fever, confusion or drowsiness return or get worse.
